If you are an Amazon US Prime customer and are shopping for desktop processors, then AMD's Ryzen 7800X3D and 9600X are currently available for their lowest prices (purchase links under the specs list down below).

First up we have the 9600X (not to be confused with the newer 9600X3D). The AMD Ryzen 9600X is based on the latest Zen 5 design and is the company's best chip to date. This desktop CPU has six cores and 12 threads; it competes with Intel's 12th Gen i7 for productivity performance, and is almost as good as the 14th Gen i7 for gaming.
